When is a pickle not a pickle? When it's a pickle pop.

This offbeat Texas treat of frozen pickle juice, is cool but not too sweet. And that's no chilly dilly!

The healthy alternative to sugary sweet frozen treats, Bob's Pickle Pops have now been USDA approved for schools across the U.S. Why? Seems there be a lot of pickle juice drinking in South Texas and pickle juice and hot Texas days just lend themselves to frozen adventure.

John Howard was already selling pickles at the roller rink's snack bar, so he started to freeze his leftover pickle juice -- really the brine from the pickle jars -- and sell that, too. "We sold 200 to 300 every Friday and Saturday night," he says. Then they began to run out of pickle juice.

Because they think big in Texas, Howard got a "giant hydraulic press" last October to process the pickles. "We're the first to squeeze our own pickle juice," he says. They squeeze about 10 gallons -- about 150 pickles -- at a time and have nothing left at the end but the skins. No more leftover brine: Pickle Sickles are made only from freshly pressed pickles.

Will these become a the new next thing? Who's to say, but seems like it is catching on with 20,000 sold a month and now at the Six Flags over Texas amusement park.

And for something a little spicier - Jalapeno pickle pop. Somehow you can see that with some tequila and a dare.
